Since this launch is just after sunset, weather permitting and no scubs, it will be visable over a wide area, best views of powered stage of launch, Southern Nevada, Arizona, southeastern California.
Cheer the Delta IV on! her first west coast flight with a secret payload that are the eyes and ears of our nations defense in the high frontier. Another bird to watch the bad guys.

I saw initial liftoff, then it disappeared. I picked it up heading southeast before meco.. but the most fun thing was a neon-white glow to a little part of the trail (well after it was out of sight). Pretty cool, even though we didn't see much.

T'was like a tiny red dot moving up in the sky leaving a very thin white contrail in its wake.
Not as spectacular as others we've seen.

Not a spectacular launch in terms of it lighting up the atmosphere. Pretty much a nice plume, separation, and then watch it as it turns into a speck. It was visible for a full 6 minutes though.
